New Waterfowl Gun
I am looking at getting a new shotgun for this upcoming season and was hoping to get some opinions. I've been shooting a Benelli Nova for past 10 years and I am looking to upgrade to a semiauto. Initially I was looking at a Super Black Eagle II but of course the price is at the very top end of what I can afford.
After some shopping around I came across the Franchi Intensity which has the same inertia driven action and a 3.5" chamber and very similar specs as the SBEII but the price is about $700 less than the Benelli. I was wondering if anybody has had any experience with the guns and if they are a good buy. I know that Franchi is owned by Benelli so I'm hoping that they are similar in quality.
Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
